Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1968 Ford Cortina Lotus Mk2 is a low-owner example with a documented history, including time with the East Sussex Constabulary. It has been refurbished with some modifications and presents well, though it would benefit from a service due to recent low usage.
Condition
7
The car has been refurbished with new front wings, a repaint, and interior work including Recaro seats. It also has some modifications like Minilite wheels, an uprated steering rack, Bilstein suspension, and a stainless-steel exhaust. The mileage is believed to be genuine and low for its age, and it has had only five previous keepers. However, the vendor mentions it would benefit from a quick once over as he hasn't used it much.

Externally, all the cars featured a black front grille, steel wheels, and Lotus badges on both rear wings and adjacent to the rear number plate.
The gearbox ratios remained to 2000E specification, but the final drive was lengthened from 3.9:1 to 3.77:1.
Comfort and handling improvements included a larger fuel tank and the fitment of radial tyres.
